This article will be covering the main slate for NFL Week 8 beginning Sunday at 1:00pm. If you’re not familiar with this piece, it will be broken down into the following three sections: A cheat sheet with three tiers of players (each pricing tier based on DK positions/pricing), my favorite stacks to target and which players in said stacks I prefer, and lastly, my “Today’s Edge” section, which covers my edge play/fade of the slate (will update ~2 hours prior to lock), top touchdown picks, and the player I will have the most exposure to on the slate across all my lineups.
Cheatsheet:
Players to consider for your Week 8 NFL GPPs. This isn’t a list of every player I will have, but rather the top guys I am including in my stacks/core, whether it be as a matchup-based play, ownership-based play, or even a leverage play, they will all be included in this core list.
| $ Tier | QB | RB | WR | TE | D/ST |
| Top Tier | Jalen Hurts | CMC | Cooper Kupp | Mark Andrews | Jets |
| Top Tier | Lamar Jackson | Tony Pollard | Ja’Marr Chase | George Kittle | Giants |
| Mid Tier | CJ Stroud | D’Andre Swift | Zay Flowers | Evan Engram | Browns |
| Mid Tier | Joe Burrow | Isiah Pacheco | George Pickens | Dalton Schultz | Steelers |
| Value Tier | Des Ridder | Breece Hall | Tank Dell/Drake London | Kyle Pitts | Vikings |
| Value Tier | Ken Pickett | Kareem Hunt | Noah Brown/Jon Mingo | Trey McBride | Rams |
Stacks:
A common roster construction I like to use in large-field tournaments is stacking a quarterback with one or two of his skill position (RB, WR, TE) teammates and playing one or two guys from the opposition. I plan to attack Week 8 no differently.
- My top overall stack is the Texans at Panthers. A showdown of last draft’s top rookie QBs squaring off in Carolina. While I do think both QBs step up and play well, I prefer utilizing Stroud given his plethora of weapons. On the Carolina side, I can simply leverage Adam Thielen and get a majority of the Panthers’ air attack. A few options for pairing with Stroud: you can roll out single stacks with Collins, Dell or Schultz or double stack them. Dell’s big play ability is a preferred play in any doubles I run.
- Other Stacks To Consider:
- Ravens – Lamar: Zay / Andrews / OBJ
- Bengals – Burrow: Chase / Higgins / Boyd
- Eagles – Hurts: AJB / Goedert / Swift / Smith
